Whistle, Click & Splash | How Dolphins Stay in Touch and Find Their Way

◷ 2:42

Bubble loses sight of the pod in a murky bay but recognizes his mother’s signature whistle. He then sends quick clicks and listens to their echoes to find a wide passage. This upbeat children’s song introduces bottlenose dolphin contact whistles, echolocation, and attention-getting body movements.

Text from the recording’s subtitles.

Song lyrics
¿Qué cruza el agua turquesa y turbia? Es Burbuja, un delfín nariz de botella Nada con mamá Ola y la manada El pasto marino le tapa la vista Junto a su hocico brillan burbujas Por el pasto llega el silbido de Ola Lo reconoce y silba a su manera Sin verse, un silbido llega lejos Así los delfines siguen en contacto Cada nariz de botella tiene el suyo Burbuja sabe que mamá está cerca Ante Burbuja se alzan rocas oscuras Lanza clics rápidos y escucha sus ecos La pared cercana responde enseguida La roca lejana contesta más tarde Con clics y ecos halla el paso más ancho Sin verse, un silbido llega lejos Así los delfines siguen en contacto Cada nariz de botella tiene el suyo Burbuja sabe que mamá está cerca Ola da un coletazo en el agua El chapuzón atrae a la manada Todos giran y cruzan bajo el arco Sin verse, un silbido llega lejos Así los delfines siguen en contacto Cada nariz de botella tiene el suyo Burbuja sabe que mamá está cerca Tras el arco de piedra se reúnen
Language version lyrics
What flashes through the turquoise murk? It’s Bubble, a young bottlenose dolphin He swims with Mother Wave and all the pod The swaying seagrass hides them from his sight Small silver bubbles sparkle by his snout Wave’s familiar whistle threads through the grass Bubble knows it’s hers and whistles back Out of sight, a whistle travels far It keeps the dolphins all in contact Each bottlenose has a special whistle Bubble knows his mother is nearby Dark rocks rise ahead of Bubble He sends quick clicks, then listens for echoes The nearby wall sends echoes back at once From farther rock, they reach him later Echolocation helps him find the wide gap Out of sight, a whistle travels far It keeps the dolphins all in contact Each bottlenose has a special whistle Bubble knows his mother is nearby Wave slaps the water with her tail The sudden splash catches the pod’s attention They turn and swim together through the arch Out of sight, a whistle travels far It keeps the dolphins all in contact Each bottlenose has a special whistle Bubble knows his mother is nearby Beyond the stone arch, they meet once more
